The socialist dems demanding people use their woke titles get rejected hard –
LA Times columnist called out for using ‘Latinx’ term to describe Hispanic population
Only 3 percent of self-identifying Hispanics use the term ‘Latinx’
On Sunday, Guerrero tweeted out “Democratic outreach to Latino voters on the California recall election is not working. I’ve been speaking to young Latinxs and almost none of them have any idea what is going on. This is really, really bad.
Ron DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw tweeted “Keep calling them ‘Latinxs,’ I’m sure that will help your outreach efforts. Florida Democrats should also adopt this term immediately in all communications.”
“White liberals incorrectly calling Latino people ‘Latinx’ to be woke is actual cultural appropriation. I guess it actually does exist…,” wrote Washington Examiner writer Brad Polumbo.
Pollster Frank Luntz shared a Pew Research Poll showing 76 percent of Latino adults have never heard of “latinx” and wrote, “If a political group uses the term ‘Latinx,’ it’s a telltale sign that they’re not in touch with Hispanic Americans.”

‘MSNBC Madness: Larry Elder Will Make Life Harder for Black Californians, Cause Hate Crimes’
“The columnist bullied Californians to vote no “regardless of how they feel” about Newsom because he’s “done the best he can.” Because she believes voters can’t think for themselves, Guerrero again hammered home her hateful message that electing Elder would “set a nightmarish precedent that would reverberate across the United States and be especially devastating for black and Latino people across the country.”
Divorced from any sort of rational analysis, Guerrero finished out the interview by further claiming Elder would “lead to a rise in hate crimes” because he used “dehumanizing terms” like “illegal alien” instead of “humanizing” terms like “undocumented:””

‘NBC Now BURIES Bad Poll Signaling ‘Forever Stain’ on Biden Presidency’
“One would think that such a declaration would grab the attention of Todd’s NBC colleagues and guarantee that Biden’s sinking poll numbers would receive continued network coverage. Instead, just hours later, Sunday’s Nightly News found no time to even mention the President’s growing unpopularity. Despite having a full two hours, Monday’s Today show also lacked a single second on the poll – though it did manage to offer nearly three minutes on the ongoing search for a new Jeopardy host.”
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2021/08/23/nbc-now-buries-bad-poll-signaling-forever-stain-biden-presidency
Hmmm again. Not exactly a ringing endorsement from Chuck Toad. Did he really have to bring up Biden’s handling of C-19 and the economy?
“Seeming to try to reassure the administration, Todd argued that it was Biden’s incompetence on other issues beyond Afghanistan that were the real drivers of his polling plunge:
But the President’s overall slippage is less about Afghanistan than about two other issues. Approval of his handling of the coronavirus is down a whopping 16 points – just 53% approve now, from 69% in April. And approval of his handling of the economy is standing at 47% – that’s upside down now because it was at 52.“

Bad trends for gavin –
Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder surged past California Governor Gavin Newsom in Google searches as the race to recall the embattled Democrat governor intensifies.
Elder has surged past Newsom in Google search inquiries over the last two weeks, according to Google Trends, suggesting that Newsom’s most prominent Republican challenger for his job is growing in notoriety as Election Day approaches.
When broken down, the search data shows the top three related searches for Elder are “Larry Elder for governor,” “Larry Elder running for governor,” and “Larry Elder for governor website.”
Meanwhile, the top related searches for Newsom revolved around his highly-publicized French Laundry scandal, with “Gavin Newsom French Laundry” taking the top spot.
Following the French Laundry scandal search – where Newsom was spotted maskless at the high-end restaurant for a lobbyist friend’s birthday dinner amid California’s strict COVID-19 measures – are “Gavin Newsom Thanksgiving” and “Gavin Newsom dinner.”
The incoming recall appears to have rattled Newsom, who recently snapped during an interview that everyone “outside this state is b—-ing about this state.”

‘You Don’t Need To Go To Kabul To See The End Of American Order. It’s Right Here Among Us’
In many of our major cities, gangs of masked thugs and criminals do what they please — and our far-better-armed police aren’t allowed to stop it.
“It’s long not been safe to be a reporter in Portland: Just Sunday, Antifa targeted independent journalist and photographer Maranie Staab. “You f-cking endangered people by flying to f-cking Colombia and endangering everyone by opening them up to COVID, you little slut,” one masked and armored man screamed at Staab, referring to her June reporting on violence in South America.
Minutes later, Antifa members pepper-sprayed her, knocked her to the ground, and reportedly broke her phone and damaged her camera, yelling, “How many times do we have to f-cking tell you?”
After other reporters moved her away from the mob and helped her wash out her eyes and mouth, an Antifa member sprayed them (and their cameras) with more paint. Once again, police were nowhere to be seen or even heard.“

My tale of fire.
As most of you know, I rarely go to GV, maybe once a month, sometimes twice, but not often.
Need to pick up RX today cause tomorrow with be busy with the tooth doc. Anyway, left the humble abode @ 3:30 headed up to GV, got off at Idaho-Maryland. Plan was to hit a store on Idaho Maryland and then up Sutton to Rite-Aide (Thrifties). Saw a fire captain or chefs vehicle talking to two older shirtless potbellied drunks/homeless. They were on foot. Them old boys needed a shave, a haircut, and a shower. Anyway, I pulled into the store on Ida-Mary just as they locked the doors. Evacuating. Darn, I was still before the fire and timing was off by 30 seconds. I continued heading up to Rite-Aid and suddenly they closed it off at Sutton. What timing. Took awhile to do a Uy but people were patient and it was a beautiful afternoon with nice a nice shot of the smokestack plum. So, I made it back home. Talk about timing. All of a sudden there are 5-7 cars coming up the wrong road (the bad road). Few take the bad road if they don’t have to. We take the ‘good road.’ Traffic out there! Rarely see anybody come up the bad road, maybe a couple times a day. And they are driving shiny new cars and turning around farther up and what the hay is going on? sez Mr.T.
Come to find out and unbeknownst to me, Hwy 20 got closed off at Mooney Flat right after I got to my humble abode. So, I walked out and talked to this fine young lady in a fine car and when started to apologize for some reason, I stopped her. What’s going on? She explained that the traffic is backed up for miles . She did not know why, I figured a bad accident cause Indidn’t see smoke that direction. I smiled and said, “You are not the first one, nor will you be the last.” I wished her good luck making a left on the Highway. 🙂
Realtors, plumbers, cement trucks, even county building department guys, animal control, and others all use Google maps. Google Maps still has the end of my road going through to a back way which you can work your way to Big Oak Valley and out near Hamilton-Smartsville Rd if 20 E is closed. That road has been closed-blocked off for years, ROFLMAO. I sure would not want to drive a nice shiny low to the ground car on the bad road, then up to the top. No place to turn around, very rocks, very narrow, very rough….and back back down. Even speeders can’t speed.

The Chinese government seized on a scheduling delay during Vice President Kamala Harris’ ongoing trip to Vietnam to undercut the White House’s planned outreach regarding COVID-19 vaccine supply, according to a report Wednesday.
Harris was set to announce a U.S. donation of one million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine as part of a broader effort to cultivate closer ties with Vietnam and counteract Beijing’s influence in the region.
When Harris’ team experienced a three-hour delay ahead of her planned meeting with Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, China sent its own diplomat to meet with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and offer two million vaccine doses, the Washington Post reported.

The boy aint gettin no love and the votes are happening in real time OH MY! –
Voters are too preoccupied to pay attention, said Christian Arana, a vice-president of the Latino Community Foundation. And that’s especially true for the Black and Latino voters who help propel Democrats to power year after year. Polls suggest that white, conservative voters will dominate the recall, while voters of color stay home.
“Latino communities are still being affected by this virus, especially with a Delta variant going on. We’ve continued to see deaths within our community,” Arana said. “This recall election is just not on our mind, because we’re so busy dealing with the pains and traumas of this virus, and its economic consequences as well.”
Latinos account for 39% of the population, and about 28% of registered voters. While Latinos voted for Newsom by an almost 2-1 margin in 2018, the CBS News poll found that among likely voters, about half of Hispanic voters would vote to recall Newsom.

Don @ 9:47 pm. Folks don’t like the Elites right now.
You can tell when you are over the target by the amount of flack. Those Crazy Kalifornia Lefties are a bunch of worry warts. Come on. Governor Newsom will never get recalled. Heck, R’s are now only 24% of the state. I am behind the times. Thought we had 29%. Anyway….what are the odds? Blue, bluest of blue and biggest of all the Lefty Big Blue States with a R Governor. Impossible. Still, the flack is getting thicker.
ELDER ABUSE AT THE LA TIMES
With the odds of Gavin Newsom being recalled in three weeks looking too close to call, the left is panicking about the possibility that Larry Elder might become the next governor of California. A conservative black as the governor of the largest state, making a strong case day by day against progressive government, is the left’s worst nightmare. Hence, they have to stop him. Supposedly he is being investigated for the failure of inaccurate reporting of income. Sometime soon I expect there will be a Me, Too allegation made against him, perhaps by Christine Blasey Ford herself.
The Los Angeles Times, a former newspaper, is going all in for the left on this one. Here’s a sample their “news” and editorial coverage of Elder:

Well, everything the American Marxists touch does turn to Ship High In Transit, aka, fertilizer. Phew. Gives off the worse smelling gas. Toxic. Like, “We are outta here.” “Good Lord, you can smell the rats.”

And if you thought things couldn’t get too much worse? A sub-headline from the NYT today:
“The New Chief Chaplain at Harvard? An Atheist.”
I guess we’ll be thankful that he wasn’t an Afghani imam, who got here by switching his original Rome ticket for a Boston flight.

Responding to Walt:
Sure 26 paid shills lying about Trump. Do you think anyone believes that? Here’s the list.
At least 26 women have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct since the 1970s.
Renewed attention was brought to the allegations amid the #MeToo movement and a national conversation concerning sexual misconduct.
Trump has repeatedly denied the accusations, denouncing his accusers as “liars.”
In June 2019, columnist E. Jean Carroll accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her by forcing his penis inside her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s.
And in September 2020, model Amy Dorris said that in 1997 Trump forcibly kissed her, groped her all over her body, and gripped her tightly so she couldn’t get away.
